Suggested Flow of Supplies

Suggested flow of supplies: 
***please note: I have no relationship whatsoever with the following links. I have provided them for you as a way of getting a visual on what types of supplies you should be looking for, that way if you talk with your local shop or go to order them yourself, you can see what is being looked for when shopping***
Module 1 
Lesson 1
Drawing Paper
You could get loose sheets of smooth drawing paper in a pack or a pad like the link above, which would take you through the entirety of the course.
Range of drawing pencils
Pencil Sharpener

Lesson 2
Acrylic Paint in Red, Blue, Yellow, White
Acrylic Paint Brushes that include a mix of: Flat Brushes (small, medium, large), Round Tipped (small, medium, large), Filbert or Cat Tongue (small, medium, large)
You do not need natural hair brushes! Just synthetic brushes that are soft, silky bristles. When the hairs in the brush are stiff and kinda crunchy to the touch, it makes mixing your paint and create smooth blends more challenging in the beginning, but may be great for other techniques later on. You just want a mix of some that are round tipped, filbert, & flat tipped. 
Aluminum Ruler with Cork Backing
Gesso
Large Brush for Gesso
Painters tape
Flat/smooth Masonite (available at most hardware stores that you cut down into many drawing/painting boards, they will usually do it for you there at the hardware store) or other art board
Painters palette of some kind, the Butcher's tray is my favorite version and I like the porcelain coated ones because non-porous palettes keep your paint from drying out as quickly
Rives BFK Paper 
You can buy this in single sheets at most art supply stores or order in as small as a pack of 5 online. A pack of 5 sheets of this paper would meet your needs for all 12 modules of the course. I chose this paper because when prepped correctly it can hold a lot of paint and other forms of media. It is a smooth cotton paper. The nice thing about this is that 

Lesson 3
Mixed media Visual Arts Journal
Either India Ink or Acrylic Ink
Watercolor set
